[MPlayer-users] ASF Command GUID

[J H]

Hi MPlayer Users,

I'm unable to get mplayer to stream ASF streams that have GUID prefix 0x0057fb20 (ASF command).

After looking through the mplayer source code, it looks like mplayer doesn't support this type GUID (doesn't recognize it as an audio stream).

Does anyone have any idea about how to get mplayer to play such a stream? If so, please let me know.

Below is an example of the mplayer attempting to play such an ASF stream:

$ mplayer -aid 2 -msglevel header=7:network=7 "http://stream-a.den.liquidcompass.net/94FM?MSWMExt=.asf"
